How can I calculate the average of a list of numbers (eg [2,5,8,7,3] ) and then
subtract the avg from the original numbers in the list and print?
lst = [2,5,8,7,3]
avg = sum(lst) / len(lst)
print(avg)
for n in lst:
print(n - avg)
Also, if I have a nested list:
sick_patients=[['Sam', 'M', 65, 'chest pain', 101.6], [['Sarah', 'F', 73,
'dizziness', 98.6], [['Susie', 'F', 34, 'headache', 99.7], [['Scott', 'M', 12,
'stom ache', 102.3]
and I would like to print out all the patients with a temp > 100 how would I do
so?
for patient in sick_patients:
if patient[-1] > 100:
print(patient)
The above works if you fix the syntax errors in sick_patients, you do't
need all the double brackets.
